This is a great article I found reposted for Autism/Asperger Awareness month. So true and hopefully helpful to someone else. My son has always struggled to make friends. Every year gets better, but it still breaks my heart when he tells me how lonely he gets. I was able to finally get him a 'peer' mentor and he is helping my son socialize and work on those 'friend making' social skills. So I am hopefull! :-)

Coreen that would be tough, Hoping the mentor will help him, that is cool!~ We have a young man in our neighborhood with I believe may be Aspergers....he is an awesome kid, and when he does come out to play...they all have a ball with him!~ (he is 14) and my son is almost 13, and he likes him a lot, Alex does not even know what he has...

I'll tell you what? I wish i could go to that class just to up my confidence levels. But, i get what you're saying- this is so good- i just hope more parents of autistic kids read your blog. They'll be glad they did :)

My son had a really hard time making freinds until he started going to this science school. A LOT of the kids are really nerdy and super nice so he's been able to feel like he has more friends. And we have a very nice neighbor kid who comes over to play a lot. He's truly been a God-send. My son is super nice. But he's slower to pick up on social skills than other kids. It does get better as he gets older.
